What a fabulous fall weekend spent with family. Saturday was the Klipsch family reunion. What can I say about these people? They are a hoot and a lot of fun! I am grateful that I have an opportunity to spend time with them. I am grateful that my children also have an opportunity to spend time with them. Olivia had a great time playing with Megan and Matthew. Alex got to meet and play with a few distant cousins as well.
Family is so important to me. Once my family lost its matriarch, my Grandma, we had to find a way to stay connected. I didn't appreciate all the moments spent with my family before we lost her. Now, I do. I only wish I could have appreciated it more then. I had a great time connecting with my cousins on Saturday. We all seem to have such a great sense of humor that when we get together, you cannot help but have a fun time!!
Sunday also was a family day. My Mom and Dad graciously hosted us kids to celebrate Stevie and Jimmy's birthdays. My Dad made homemade chicken and dumplings. It was fantastic. He even made me my bisquick dumplings. For those that may not have had the pleasure, let me indulge you. While growing up, my Mom used to make homemade chicken and dumplings. The dumplings were made from Bisquick not noodles. This type of "dumpling" is so light and fluffy! It soaks in the juice and all the goodness. I LOVE the Bisquick dumplings and to this day, whenever I make homemade chicken and dumplings, that's how I make it. Thanks Mom for such a wonderful memory and recipe! So we spent the afternoon talking and laughing. We even had an opportunity to make one more necklace for Liz's wedding. It was the perfect ending to a perfect family-filled weekend! Which we don't seem to have enough of.
It's a good thing you like family. I think we'll all be together again this weekend for Whitnie's baby shower. It was a great day for the reunion wasn't it? Family is so important.
